Mammals on the EDGE: Conservation Priorities Based on Threat and Phylogeny
- N. Isaac, S. Turvey, B. Collen, Carly Waterman, J. Baillie
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 14 March 2007
Conservation priority setting based on phylogenetic diversity has frequently been proposed but rarely implemented. Here, we define a simple index that measures the contribution made by different… Expand
Defaunation in the Anthropocene
- R. Dirzo, H. Young, M. Galetti, G. Ceballos, N. Isaac, B. Collen
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 25 July 2014
We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance. Particularly, human impacts on… Expand
Global Biodiversity: Indicators of Recent Declines
- S. H. M. Butchart, M. Walpole, +42 authors R. Watson
- Geography, Medicine
- Science
- 28 May 2010
Global Biodiversity Target Missed In 2002, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) committed to a significant reduction in the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. There has been widespread… Expand
A standard lexicon for biodiversity conservation: unified classifications of threats and actions.

Global effects of land use on local terrestrial biodiversity
- Tim Newbold, Lawrence N Hudson, +38 authors A. Purvis
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 2 April 2015
Human activities, especially conversion and degradation of habitats, are causing global biodiversity declines. How local ecological assemblages are responding is less clear—a concern given their… Expand
The Status of the World's Land and Marine Mammals: Diversity, Threat, and Knowledge
- J. Schipper, Janice S. Chanson, +127 authors B. Young
- Biology, Environmental Science
- Science
- 10 October 2008
Knowledge of mammalian diversity is still surprisingly disparate, both regionally and taxonomically. Here, we present a comprehensive assessment of the conservation status and distribution of the… Expand
Large mammal population declines in Africa’s protected areas
- Ian D. Craigie, J. Baillie, +4 authors J. Hutton
- Biology
- 1 September 2010
Protected areas (PAs) are the cornerstone of global conservation efforts but their performance in maintaining populations of their key species remains poorly documented. Here, we address this gap… Expand
The Impact of Conservation on the Status of the World’s Vertebrates
- M. Hoffmann, C. Hilton-Taylor, +171 authors S. Stuart
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 10 December 2010
Assessing Biodiversity Declines Understanding human impact on biodiversity depends on sound quantitative projection. Pereira et al. (p. 1496, published online 26 October) review quantitative… Expand
The conservation status of the world's reptiles
Effective and targeted conservation action requires detailed information about species, their distribution, systematics and ecology as well as the distribution of threat processes which affect them.… Expand
Odonata enter the biodiversity crisis debate: The first global assessment of an insect group
- V. Clausnitzer, V. Kalkman, +15 authors K. D. Wilson
- Biology
- 1 August 2009
The status and trends of global biodiversity are often measured with a bias towards datasets limited to terrestrial vertebrates. The first global assessment of an insect order (Odonata) provides new… Expand
